Medicals

 Gary and I will be needing to update our medical form since the previous one will be close to expiring.   But one of the wonderful things is that the doctor's office has a notary on hand so one less worry.  I just hate exams and blood work but it will be worth it for these two little tappers.

Currently we have 40 documents waiting to be notarized @ $20 per document ($800.00) :'o( 
Once each document  is double checked and reviewed we will be ready for apostilles for a grand total of 58 documents @ $20 per document (1,600).  :'0(((((  With it being so many documents and the fear of them getting lost in the mail we decided we would travel to our State's Commission's Office  for apostilles.  SO 264 miles there and another 264 back.  Roughly a 5 to 6 hour trip and with rain most of the week.  When we traveled to Arkansas this pass  Friday we got  caught in a really bad storm and had to pull off the road till the storm cleared.  It seems every trip we have made during this adoption it has rain.  

We'll be getting up early and arrive shortly after lunch.  Next check in a hotel overnight and head back the following day.  Once home we have completed paper chase. 
Our Paper Baby is ready to be send.
Map of our travels to get apostilles.

No words

There are just some days where there are no words that can  take away from pain and heart ache.

Very hard to understand why bad things happen to good people and little children.  A 14 year old girl with a headache dies within three days of being diagnose with a rare form of cancer.  Her mother struggles to understand why her daughter had to be chosen to earn her wings.  So much potential, and such a beautiful young woman with the kindest heart.  Today I watched as my 5 year old daughter looks into a mirror and then ask if her doctor ...

Butterflies

Even old people get butterflies. As our newest little 9 year old points at the ceiling and out comes her first words in English to me. Butterflies Momma, Butterflies... In the dead of winter with temperatures of 20 below I stare at the ceiling.  Not thinking I look up. In the spilt second in time my mind wonders.  Even in an orphanage a child can have humor and imagination.  Maybe being caught off guard or in the moment it makes a person think. On the outside of this old worn out building a few dying bushes.  And from the street it looks like any other old building. The caregivers and other children inside are the only family they had for years. This is the only place our children knew as home. I love spring and soon butterflies will fill the air.  Maybe the Windows will open and a few of these fragile flying angels  will fly inside.  For many of these children seeing a butterflies will be only through a panel of glass. This year marks 2...
